Brentford have made their first move in the transfer market after signing Danish defender Henrik Dalsgaard on a three-year deal from SV Zulte Waregam.

Dalsgaard, who plays as a right back, will join the club when the Transfer Window officially opens and has signed for the Bees for an undisclosed fee.

He has made three appearances for the national side and won the Danish cup with SV Zulte Waregam last month, although he missed a proportion of the season with a hip injury.

Head coach Dean Smith told the official club website: “Henrik is a player that we have been looking at for some time and someone we believe can improve the squad.

"We have watched him quite a few times and we like his qualities on the pitch. We also believe he has the right character to fit in to the squad and help us improve. I am looking forward to working with him next season."

Co-director of football Rasmus Ankersen, added: “It is always nice to sign players early in the summer window.

"Having as much of the squad together at the start of pre-season as possible will only help us prepare. I would like to welcome Henrik to Brentford and look forward to seeing him as part of our training group when the players return next month.”
